From .Net 3.5 you can use LINQ extension method that (sometimes) makes code flow a bit better.
Usage looks like this:
using System.Linq;
// ...
public void My()
{
var myArray = new[] { "abc", "123", "zyx" };
List<string> myList = myArray.ToList();
}
PS. There's also ToArray() method that works in other way.
